church building (n.)↕
In the Christian religion, a church is a building or structure to facilitate the meeting of its members. Originally, Jewish Christians met in synagogues,[citation needed] such as the Cenacle, and in one another's homes, known as house churches. As Christianity grew and became more accepted by governments, notably with the Edict of Milan, rooms and, eventually, entire buildings were set aside for the explicit purpose of Christian worship, such as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Traditional church buildings are often in the shape of a cross and frequently have a tower or dome. More modern church buildings have a variety of architectural styles and layouts; many buildings that were designed for other purposes have now been converted for church use; and, similarly, many original church buildings have been put to other uses.
Contents |
The first Christians were, like Jesus, Israelites resident in Roman Israel who worshiped on occasion in the Temple in Jerusalem and weekly in local synagogues. Temple worship was a ritual involving sacrifice, occasionally including the sacrifice of animals in atonement for sin, offered to the God of Israel. The New Testament includes many references to Jesus visiting the Temple, the first time as an infant with his parents, see Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The early history of the synagogue is obscure, but it seems to be an institution developed for public Jewish worship during the Babylonian captivity when the Jews (and Jewish Proselytes) did not have access to a Temple (the First Temple having been destroyed c. 586 BC) for ritual sacrifice. Instead, they developed a daily and weekly service of readings from the Torah, and possibly also the Prophets, followed by commentary. This could be carried out in a house if the attendance was small enough, and in many towns of the Diaspora that was the case. In others, more elaborate architectural settings developed, sometimes by converting a house and sometimes by converting a previously public building. The minimum requirements seem to have been a meeting room with adequate seating, a case for the Torah scroll, and a raised platform for the reader.
Jesus himself participated in this sort of service as a reader and commentator (see Gospel of Luke 4:16–24) and his followers probably remained worshipers in synagogues in some cities,[citation needed] for example the Cenacle in Jerusalem. However, following the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, the new Christian movement and Rabbinic Judaism increasingly parted ways, see also List of events in early Christianity. The Church became overwhelmingly Gentile sometime in the 4th century, the era of Constantine I and Christianity and the birth of the State church of the Roman Empire.
The Syrian city of Dura-Europos on the West bank of the Euphrates was an outpost town between the Roman and Parthian empires. During a siege by Parthian troops in A.D. 257, the buildings in the outermost blocks of the city grid were partially destroyed and filled with rubble to reinforce the city wall. Thus were preserved and securely dated an early decorated church and a synagogue decorated with extensive wall paintings. Both had been converted from earlier private buildings.
The Dura-Europos church from 235 AD has a special room dedicated for baptisms with a large baptismal font.
In Greek, the adjective kyriak-ós/-ē/-ón means "belonging, or pertaining, to a Kýrios" ("Lord"), and the usage was adopted by early Christians of the Eastern Mediterranean with regard to anything pertaining to the Lord Jesus Christ: hence "Kyriakós oíkos" ("house of the Lord", church), "Kyriakē" ("[the day] of the Lord", i.e. Sunday), or "Kyriakē proseukhē" (the "Lord's prayer").
In standard Greek usage, the older word "ecclesia" (ἐκκλησία, ekklesía, literally "assembly", "congregation", or the place where such a gathering occurs) was retained to signify both a specific edifice of Christian worship (a "church"), and the overall community of the faithful (the "Church"). This usage was also retained in Latin and the languages derived from Latin (e.g. French église, Italian chiesa, Spanish iglesia, Portugese igreja, etc), as well as in the Celtic languages (Welsh eglwys, Irish eaglais, Breton iliz, etc).
In the Germanic and some Slavic languages, the word kyriak-ós/-ē/-ón was adopted instead and derivatives formed thereof. In Old English the sequence of derivation started as "cirice" (Kee-ree-ke), then "churche" (kerke), and eventually "church" in its traditional pronunciation. German Kirche, Scottish kirk, Russian tserkov, etc, are all similarly derived.
During the 11th through 14th centuries, a wave of building of cathedrals and smaller parish churches occurred across Western Europe. In addition to being a place of worship, the cathedral or parish church was used by the community in other ways. It could serve as a meeting place for guilds or a hall for banquets. Mystery plays were sometimes performed in cathedrals, and cathedrals might also be used for fairs. The church could be used as a place to thresh and store grain.[1]
A common architecture for churches is the shape of a cross (a long central rectangle, with side rectangles, and a rectangle in front for the altar space or sanctuary). These churches also often have a dome or other large vaulted space in the interior to represent or draw attention to the heavens. Other common shapes for churches include a circle, to represent eternity, or an octagon or similar star shape, to represent the church's bringing light to the world. Another common feature is the spire, a tall tower on the "west" end of the church or over the crossing.
The Latin word basilica (derived from Greek, Basiliké Stoà, Royal Stoa), was originally used to describe a Roman public building (as in Greece, mainly a tribunal), usually located in the forum of a Roman town.
After the Roman Empire became officially Christian, see Edict of Thessalonica, the term came by extension to refer to a large and important church that has been given special ceremonial rites by the Pope. Thus the word retains two senses today, one architectural and the other ecclesiastical.
A cathedral is a church, usually Roman Catholic, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox or Eastern Orthodox, housing the seat of a bishop. The word cathedral takes its name from the word cathedra, or Bishop's Throne (In Latin: ecclesia cathedralis). The term is sometimes (improperly) used to refer to any church of great size.
The church that has the function of cathedral is not of necessity a large building. It might be as small as Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, England, Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh, United States, or Chur Cathedral in Switzerland. But frequently, the cathedral, along with some of the abbey churches, was the largest building in any region.
Old and disused church buildings can be seen as an interesting proposition for developers as the architecture and location often provide for attractive homes[2][3] or city centre entertainment venues[4] On the other hand, many newer Churches have decided to host meetings in public buildings such as schools,[5] universities,[6] cinemas[7] or theatres.[8]
There is another trend to convert old buildings for worship use rather than face the construction costs and planning difficulties of a new build. Unusual venues in the UK include an old Tram power station,[9] a former bus garage,[10] an old cinema and bingo hall,[11] a former Territorial Army Drill Hall,[12] a former synagogue[13] and a windmill.

05.01.07 - By Ricardo Lois, BoxingConfidential.com -- Marco Antonio Barrera has been quiet, very quiet. On November 15th, 2003, Marco Antonio Barrera was handed the most embarrassing defeat of his career at the hands of Manny Pacquiao. After the fight, many called for his retirement, even his long time trainer Rudy Perez was quoted as saying it might be time for Marco to retire. The last three years Marco has been searching for a rematch with Pacquiao. A promotional tug of war between Golden Boy and Top Rank, Barrera, President of Golden Boy Mexico, might never get a chance to avenge his defeat. As the drama played out with Pacquiao's promotional rights and the announcement was finally made by Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions that Barrera would be facing fellow Mexico City native Juan Manuel Marquez on March 14th, not a peep has been heard from Barrera.. I guess we should not be surprised, that is Marco's way, short with words, but a gentleman through and through; even though he must be struggling with the disappointment of seeing a rematch with Pacquiao float away due to reasons he cannot fully control. Still, it stirred me that Barrera has not been heard from, so I picked up the phone and called the next best thing to the Baby Faced Assassin, Roberto Diaz, long time assistant to the Mexican legand. "Marco was at the Pacquiao-Morales fight. After the fight," said Diaz, "Marco asked Oscar (De La Hoya) and Richard (Schaefer) for a rematch with Pacquiao. That is the fight he wanted." Unfortunately, the reality of a fight with Pacquiao is slim to none, as Marco looks to ride of into the Mexican sunset soon. "Marco will stand by his decision to retire at the end of 2007, after two more fights." Barrera is class, and Diaz is class, just about everyone around Marco are true, well-spoken gentlemen, with little regret or negativity ever publicly spewed. With Marquez now on the horizon, Diaz had the following to say. "The fight will be great. Marquez is an excellent fighter and it will be a wonderful event. It will be a tough and exciting fight, just like anytime two Mexican greats get in the ring to do battle." Kind words from Diaz, who must know the public was waiting to see Barrera test his merit, one more time, against Pacquiao. Now, Marquez presents a dangerous challenge. A loss can forever erase the possibility of a rematch with the Filipino for Barrera, and a win, well, a win is not likely to bring him Pacquiao, either. Let us hope that Golden Boy and Top Rank can kiss and make-up because future hall of famer does not deserve to leave the sport with a major question mark hanging over his head. "What would have happened if I got another shot at Pacquiao?"

150th Anniversary of Baltimore City Fire Department
In 1858, the mayor and city council of Baltimore City, after much deliberation, passed an ordinance creating the Fire Department of Baltimore City. Five commissioners were appointed to oversee the organization. The size of the original department was set at seven steam fire engine companies and two hook-and-ladder companies. Final approval was made in an ordinance dated March 30, 1859. Charles T. Holloway was appointed chief engineer. A police and fire alarm telegraph system also was proposed. On Feb. 15, 1859, the fire department was put in place and by Dec. 31, 1859, it was at its authorized strength. The department underwent change as time went on. Increasing units as demands called for and finances allowed.
On Jan. 1, 1893, the fire department became fully paid and the grade of call man was abolished. Ringing of bells in the firehouse towers and city hall was discontinued. By 1900, the fire department began to establish more firehouses. By 1904, the department had 24 engines (including a fireboat), 11 hook-and-ladders, three chemical engines and 10 chief officers led by Chief Engineer George W. Horton.
And so it was on the Sunday morning, Feb. 7, 1904, when a fire erupted in the Hurst Building in downtown Baltimore that resulted by the end of the second day in the total destruction of 140 acres of downtown Baltimore and resulting in the call for assistance from as far away as New York City. As a result of the fire, the reconstruction of the city replaced older buildings with better-constructed ones. The fire department was enlarged and a high-pressure pumping system was installed and completed in 1912. By 1914, there were 40 engines (including two fireboats) and 19 truck companies.
The next important event was that through the 1918 Annexation Act, the City of Baltimore greatly increased in size with the incorporation of part of Baltimore County into the city along with its governmental services. The seven engine companies of the Baltimore County Fire Department, its buildings, apparatus and men became part of the Baltimore City Fire Department.
By 1923, the last engine companies were added to bring the total to 58 engines, including four fireboats. This number would remain until the 1970s, when the reduction of companies commenced. Five hose companies had also been added with two water tower companies. Four chemical (foam) companies were added by 1926. In 1935, Truck 26 was added and the unit size remained at that number until 1951.
The manpower situation was adjusted with a second platoon being added in 1924 and a third platoon added in 1958. The department started handling emergency medical service in 1927 with five ambulances and it grew to 12 ambulances by 1957. From 1920s through 1971, the department remained pretty much stable. The axe began to fall in 1979. To carry on further would require a book and the saga continues. The fire department continues to provide excellent service to the community with good leadership in trying times.
GARY E. FREDERICK retired as assistant chief of the Baltimore City, MD, Fire Department after 37 years service and now serves as safety officer of the Gettysburg, PA, Fire Department. He also has served as chairman of the Baltimore Committee for Firehouse Expo for 25 years.

What are some fun things to shoot?
Right now I know melons, paint cans full of water, and apples. Anything else fun to shoot that won't break the bank?

We sometimes by a case of Clay/Skeet from WalMart. You get about 90 of them for 4 bucks. At 30+ yards with a pistol is kind of fun. You can make up little competitions with them and its cheap!
Charcoal briquettes works too, its just smaller. I have also seen an older fellow teaching his grandkids to shoot a .22 using animal crackers at 25 yards. |

My favorite are hedge apples (free), yellow cucumbers (nearly free) and clay pidgeons (about $4.00 for 90).

Really dumb question.....
Those that shoot clay pidgeons how long before they disappear? Do they just dissolve if it rains? They sound like a nice cheap reactive rifle target for 100yds. Even i can see orange but i don't wanna have a large mess to pick up. Biodegradable targets rock!

If you've got the coin and a far out place to do it, Tannerite is the ticket. $100 gets you a case of 20 charges.
Don't do it anywhere near people or homes though. You should have at least a 100yard distance between the target and any people or structures. Its dangerous stuff, but very impressive. Like a stick of dynamite. As with any explosive device, be very careful and follow the direction on the package. |

Clay pigeon targets--Problem!
Re. Clay Pigeon targets, NO THEY DO NOT DISAPPEAR!! A trip to any trap range and a glance downrange will convince you of that. The broken pieces can cut bare feet if they are left in an area where (for example) little kids might be playing. And it says on the clay pigeon boxes not to use them where hogs feed, as the pitch used in making the clay birds is toxic to hogs.
Having said all that, in a place where the broken pieces will endager no hogs or kids, and where they will not be regarded as unsightly, I agree they sure are fun to bash!

If your range allows it and you like medium or long distance shooting, make a gong. Mine is 9" around 2 inches thick, weighs about 50 lbs though. I take it to the 400 and 500 yard makers which is the limit at my range. What I like is knowing right then if you hit it. You hear the bong a second or two after you shoot. At the end of my shoot I re-paint the gong so I can judge my pattern the next trip.

Don't disappear, hmmmm...
Far be it from me to argue with 40 yrs. experience. However, at every trap/skeet range I've ever visited, there are thousands of bashed clay birds to be seen, lying downrange.
If they do disappear, it can't be all that quickly. How/where do they go? Are clay birds water-soluble, or what? I admit I've never examined them more than superficially as I put them onto the target thrower. They seem to be some sort of formed, heated substance, sort of glassy-looking on the bottom. And it says on the box that they contain pitch, which I'm certain isn't water-soluble--it used to be used to seal the seams of wooden boats and ships, during the 1700's and 1800's. I'm not arguing, just curious.

If you have a large, safe area to shoot, fill some plastic milk jugs with water or water and food coloring. We used to shoot them from 75 - 100 yards with .308's and larger calibers. They will literally jump up in the air about 4 feet and pretty much explode as the bullet exits . I suspect they will also do this at closer range with handguns, or at least spray the water everywhere.

Fire extinguishers. We had a bunch of old ABC's at work that were no longer serviceable but still charged. Set them up at 100 yards and aim a little low of center. Talk about great visual effects.

Biodeg. yes & no
Well, White Flyer Bio's are obviously biodegradable, that's how they're advertised. That would tend to indicate that the "traditional" clay bird is "non-bio" by comparison.
Have had a couple soaking 24 hr. Neither a Remington Blue Rock, broken or unbroken, nor a Sporting Clays White Flyer (badly chipped, so I deemed it served both ways) showed the slightest sign of decomposition of any sort from the immersion. My conclusion: Don't throw/shoot clay birds where you don't want the pieces to remain, for a considerable period, unless you are using the "bio" type. And don't use 'em where hogs feed, as per instructions on the box. Maybe they do disappear into the soil given enough time, but in the meantime they are an unsightly mess, with sharp edges to boot. Having said all that, I have to add, They sure are fun to shoot!

Released: Dec 01st, 2006
Running Time: 94
Company: Totally Tasteless Video
Mo Azz, Bishop, Byron Long, Crystal Clear (I), Vanessa Bazoomz, Tony Eveready, Kyrah
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Many people don't realize it, but black girls are some of the world's most beautiful women. The hearty, meaty women variety of black girl displayed here continues on the theme. In other words, they do not disappoint.
Crystal Clear is presumably first (none of these starlets – if you can call such massive babes "starlets" – is at all specified), and she oils up her curves and masturbates before her man appears to wedge his palm between her substantial butt-cheeks. She jiggles like whoa! as she makes like her black widow tattoo and devours the male.
Smaller and taller, Vanessa Bazoomz shows off her surname past her belly-button, and she actually rides her man without incident. Mo Azz and Kyrah compete as the most attractive girls, Byron Long measuring both with his chocolate yardstick.
Retailing: Black is beautiful, big is beautiful.

Rough Weekend. Possible hemangiosarcoma
This weekend I was out of town for my niece's bridal shower.
My husband called me at 11am on Saturday to let me know that our 10 year old GSD, Sascha, wouldn't get up, was panting hard, and had pale gums/tongue. He got her to her vet immediately, and they had him take her to the ER. I was able to cut my trip short and get home that night. I got the only flight out and had to endure a 2 hour delay which was torture. Turns out her spleen had some tumors that began to bleed. Vet said we could do emergency surgery and there is a 20% chance she might not have the malignant type of cancer. Since she'd been in PERFECT (and I mean perfect) health, we were completely stunned. We opted for surgery, and she's doing so much better now. They did find some suspicious nodules on her liver, but the vet said she'd never seen a node like that in the 1000 of these surgeries she's performed. ??? We are waiting for the pathology to come back (2 more days...) and my heart is so heavy. I watch her like a hawk, I am so nervous she is going to collapse. She is our first baby, and has helped my husband and I raise our two kids. I'm dreading going out of town. I have my nieces wedding in April & another trip in May. Both are short & close to home, (2 hour flights) but I am TERRIFIED to leave her side. I have no idea how long we will have with her. This cancer is stupid. I'd like to kick it's you know what. My kids are devastated. They are young (6 & 9) but this is their girl. They play with her. The dog comes with me to the bus stop. I know there's not a lot we can do. I'm just looking for support, and if there is any advice out there, I would love to hear it. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost their dog to this sudden, aggressive, and devastating illness. |

You have my sympathy. I have never faced this terrible disease and hope I never have to do so.
My best suggestion is to live like a dog--in the moment and enjoying each and every second without worrying about the future. Best of luck you and your family, Michael

Many, many people here have lost dogs to hemangio. You can do a search for other threads. I am so sorry you are going through this. I pray that the pathology comes back with good results. Please keep us posted on Sascha.

GM Will Cooper |
By the time the envelope reaches you, adventuring in a far off land, it is battered and crumpled and stained with mud and sea salt and possibly blood.
You open it, and find thick cream paper with fine calligraphy. You read:
Surveen Walsh, Sharadon Vos, Gideon Hawke, Tudan Davken,You are cordially invited to the wedding of Elyin Ursage and Kailah Winmede,
To be held in the chapel of Shelyn in Bellis Village,
This Spring Solstice.
Below the formal text is the familiar scrawl of Elyin, your former adventuring companion. He writes; Dear friends, please come if you can. It's been too long, and Kailah is keen to meet the folks behind so many of my stories. Elyin.
Spring solstice is tomorrow. You are half a continent away. You have just returned from rescuing the son of Albric Dayne, head of the local arcanist's guild, from the Cult of the Serpentine Labyrinth. He owes you.
There might just be a way...
Sharadon Vos |
As the pale wizard read the letter, he allowed fond memories of his friend Elyin to flood his thoughts. Few people had treated poor Sharadon as well as Elyin had. He glanced at his bone-white skin for a moment, before commiting himself to reaching Bellis no matter the cost. "It would seem that Albric Dayne will be paying up faster than I'd thought."
Surveen Walsh |
Surveen Walsh smiles at his companions as the letter is read. "A true friend indeed, honorable man with whom more than once we have fought beside against the evils that assail this land. It is with pleasure that I would travel to him on such a joyous occasion. To think we are part of his tall tales and stories, let us hope he hasn't exaggerated our roles as he is wont to do. Our destinies seem to intertwine once more, only this time with happiness and laughter."
Tudan Davken |
"And how could we possibly miss a wedding?" Tudan grins widely. "There are few greater celebrations of life -- and of course we must meet this Kailah, to make sure that she's good enough for him." The genial aasimar winks, certain that his old friend Elyin has chosen well. "I only hope that you're right, Sharadon, and that Albric can get us there in time."
Tudan Davken |
Tudan chuckles. "Yes, it has been awhile since anyone cared what we looked like, aside from deadly or dead. If he can't help with clothes, we might as well wait until we get there, to get some in the local fashion. Besides, all we have to do is polish our mithril, and I bet it'll be finer than anything they've seen." Buffing his breastplate with his shirtsleeve has no visible effect on a labyrinth's worth of grime, but he beams with pride anyway.
Surveen Walsh |
Surveen surveys his clothes, meager rags that allow him freedom of movement, yet no the thing for a formal celebration as a wedding. "Tudan, I just hope they have something suitable for me to buy. These robes have seen better days, it is time I got some new ones. Do you think they will?"
Sharadon Vos |
The mage glances down at his own blood-stained, mud-soaked robes. It had been so long since he'd cared about his appearance, so long as his skin condition had remained covered. The thought of new cloths seemed alien to Sharadon. "I guess blood and dirt colored robes isn't the most fashionable thing to wear to a wedding..."
Surveen Walsh |
"If I wash myself, maybe I'll get by with just my blue skin, if its a human settlement." chuckles Surveen. "But I agree with Gideon, let's get there first, before we worry about our dress." he nods to Gideon and starts to wrap some of his possessions up ready for the journey.
Sharadon Vos |
"It's decided then. Let us settle with this arcanist before..", Sharadon eyes Gideon worriedly. "Before his son can be kidnapped again! Or we anger some balor or ancient wyrm and get trapped in a burning kingdom, saving the day."
GM Will Cooper |
Albric is welcoming and his gaunt serious face cracks into a brief smile as you explain your requirements. "Quick travel, indeed," he intones. "Well, that is certainly within the purview of the Arcanists Guild. Not easy, mind, or cheap in the ordinary run of things. But possible, of a surety." He claps, summoning an apprentice who scurries in, mouselike.
"Return in an hour and I will have prepared the requisite incantations and components."
There is a gentlemen's store located close to the Arcaneum building. There might be time to rectify any shortcomings in your apparel.
Tudan Davken |
The outdoorsy aasimar grimaces. "I'd rather avoid having anything around my neck, if at all possible. Perhaps they could make a stand-up collar look formal enough." Given that cleric's vestments are plenty formal and 5 gp, Tudan would be hoping to get something adequate for a wedding in that vicinity (or maybe double with some customization). Of course, he could easily afford a courtier's outfit; he just wouldn't see the point.
Gideon Hawke |
Gideon settles on a sky blue doublet, cream colored leather breeches, and manages to arrange a new black silk head scarf and veil into a sort of cravat with much of its length stuffed into the doublet. "Never know when I'll need a fight and I never fight without one. It's lucky. It must be or I'd never have survived this long."
Sharadon Vos |
The wizard settled on a simple gold-trimmed replacement for his adventuring robe. Woven in the same iridescent blue, Sharadon seemed content with a similar, if more fancy, appearance to his adventuring attire. "Call me a creature of habit, but I don't think our friend will have any trouble dealing with my usual attire."
Surveen Walsh |
Surveen looks through the exotic and regal clothes, searching for a simple robe and cape, without the fine accoutrements of his friends. He looks for the clean and country clothes of a peasant, yet with the colour of a bard, before eventually finding a pure yellow robe and smock, to hang loosely on his body. Affording him the manual dexterity he requires in his choice of wear. The bright yellow of the full length robe, fall down to show his new hard wearing sandals on his feet, solid black leather, tied tight on his lower legs and feet. The thongs criss-crossing up his legs in diamond shapes, although only the first two or three show from under the robes thick yellow corded hem. His muscular blue arms, extend out from under the short sleeves, but they can easily pull the red cape around his body to further warm himself in the cold.
Thus dressed resectfully, he is ready to attend his friends wedding.
Tudan Davken |
After some discussion with the storekeeper, Tudan takes a cue from Sharadon and creates a finer version of what he's used to wearing, using muted forest colors but in impractical materials. He ends up with hunter green breeches and a matching jacket over a russet shirt with a stand-up collar, all in fine linens; soft leather boots, gloves, and a belt, all russet like the shirt; and a rust cloak of fine wool in case of chill. "Nice! I look good, it's dressy enough, and it's me. I'll take it."
Ha! Take that, Fear of Social Impropriety! Having slain such a dreaded beast already, the rest of this module should be a cinch. ;)
GM Will Cooper |
Very tasteful, all of you.
You complete your purchases and the efficient young man behind the shop counter wraps them for travel. With quick deft hands he swaddles them in great squares of protective linen cloth and an outer layer of waxed canvas, before tying them with twine and presenting them with a neat bow.
On your return to the Arcaneum you find all is ready. The nervous apprentice ushers you into Albric's workshop once more. It is transformed into a dark cave of a room, shutters closed tight and chinks of light blocked with black fabric. A single candle reveals Albric's pale face and hands, moving in the darkness as he prepares some spell. The apprentice, head bowed, gives you each a small piece of smokey grey quartz fastened to a loop of silver chain, and motions for you to put them around your neck.
In the darkness, a voice. Albric says, "When the gate opens, walk the dark road. Do not stray from the path. It will lead you to Bellis, in something less than seven hours of travel. Do not leave the path."
A string of multi-syllabic words follow, that Gideon and Sharadon recognize as a powerful spell invoking illusion and shadow. The darkness deepens. Suddenly, ahead of you the shadows leap and flicker in the candlelight, rising and curving overhead to form an archway, a gate, of living shadow.
Beyond the gate lies a dark road.
Surveen Walsh |
Peering into the darkness, Surveen nods to his companions, "A dark road to a joyous reunion awaits. Let us go." Surveen walks towards the gate and starts along the path, he is quiet in the darkness, focussing his mind on the path ahead and the ceremony to come.
Perception with darkvision 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Sharadon Vos |
Muttering a brief incantation, a simple ring on Sharadon's finger flared to life, glowing faintly. Casting light.
To Gideon he turned, "Better to die of boredom, than in the gullet of a Roper. Or perhaps a Frost Worm, yes?"
With that, Sharadon stepped through and began follow those ahead of him along the dark path.
Tudan Davken |
Tudan takes up the end of the line behind Gideon. "Unless 'to not die at all' means to become a monster." Shrouded in shadow, the sensitive aasimar waves a hand to brush aside the anticipated objection. "I know, that isn't what you meant -- but it's why some become undead. I can think of little worse than to persist wrongly, so let's please all be careful to stay on the path like Albric said; I don't trust this place."
Tudan Davken |
Lacking a discussion thread, I used the old one.

GM Will Cooper |
Hello Jacob and Jacob - you're very welcome to follow. I'll look for your threads and compare maps or steal ideas as appropriate :)
Everyone else, I've added a proper discussion thread and will have the next game post up tomorrow. Boat trip was awesome fun, saw dolphins and seals and went kayaking off the stern.
GM Will Cooper |
The road stretches ahead of you. On all sides you see glimpses of strangely shadowed landscapes. Sometimes it seems you walk amid tall trees, their shade-leafed branches lost to sight above you. Then the trees seem instead to be, to have always been, the tall cracked pillars of some ruined city. In turn the pillars were never pillars but great ropes and strands of kelp swaying in the currents of some vast dark ocean.
After an interminable time of walking something breaks the shadows Off to your left a light burns briefly, like candle, then gutters and dims. You hear a voice, faint and panicked, "Help! Oh please, please help. I'm so lost. Please help me."
Tudan Davken |
"Remember, don't leave the path, no matter what! You can't help anyone if you're lost too -- and besides, it's one of the oldest tricks in the book, along with 'Watch out! Behind you!'" Tudan hisses at his comrades, then raises his voice, all the while peering into the darkness. "We're over here. Just follow the sound of my voice."
Spellcraft to know if casting a spell could interact poorly with the magic path: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
If Tudan thinks it's safe to use magic on the path:
"I'm going to summon a water elemental to send out, just in case it's for real." The good-hearted oracle begins the familiar gestures and mutterings of one of his favorite spells.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Sharadon Vos |
Sharadon stood patiently, waiting for whatever Tudan may summon to scurry off into the darkness. Power magic like this sometimes came with a cost, and although he'd perfer the more direct application of this kind, he had to admit: "This paticaular spell certainly came with dinner and a show..."
Surveen Walsh |
Surveen stops and turns back, watching Tudan complete his magic as the water elemental makes its way off towards the sound. His face shows a mind torn between his hearts inclination to help a creature in need and his head that knows the dangers found from wandering away from the path. As his fellow samanera Shogthar had said, "The path holds the substance of the planes, its way is tortuous and cold, but it is the way we follow." Now the words came to Surveen's mind as he smiles at the peace they bought.
Tudan Davken |
Like so many times before, a small water elemental appears out of nowhere. Tudan converses with it quietly and briefly in Aquan: "Wait a little bit, then go out that way and look for someone lost. If you find them, then lead them back here. If attacked, run back; no need to be brave this time." Tudan smiles at the little bundle of living water, pointing off to his left where the light and sound came from.
"Say Gideon, could you make him light up? I never learned that spell; never thought I'd need to."
GM Will Cooper |
Tudan believes that magic should work similarly here, and has no reason to think that a simple summoning spell might threaten the integrity of the shadow path.
The water-denizen appears with its customary quiet "pillip" sound, and rushes off to do Tudan's bidding. As soon as it leaves the path, it seems to slow, become gelid and viscous. Crystalline flaws appear within the aquamarine and turquoise body of the elemental and before it reaches the dim light you can see that it is fighting to maintain its fluidity in the face of some oppressive magic.
Surveen Walsh |
Seeing the summoned being struggle in the depths of darkness around, Surveen's face shows distress, "Whatever magic out there can cause such distress to your watery friend, might easily present us with falseness on the path. In this plane of shadow, the darkness holds a myriad of dangers, so we must walk in the light."
Gideon Hawke |
Before the water elemental leaves, Gideon pulls a copper from his pouch and set it alight with a short incantation. This done, he plops it into the elemental's watery form.
"I know it's ridiculous, but I can't tell you how much I want to go out there just to see what happens." Gideon suddenly smiles brightly, anyone dare me?"
"Don't you dare," chides Spark, rising from Gideon's backpack and stretching her tiny frame languidly. She sits on Gideon's shoulder. "You stay right here and don't go haring off like a crazy person. And next time don't let me nap when you go into some terrible shadowy place. What if you needed me?" She is adorably protective.
Spark has a constant Detect Evil and Detect Magic effect. If the light and voice are within 30' does she sense evil? Or magic if within 60'?
Sharadon Vos |
The gaunt wizard began to mutter a protective incantation as he watched the elemental struggle for life. With that, he pulled his blade free from it's sheath. "We had best be prepared if those shadows out there decide to take offense to our light."
Cast Protection from evil upon myself
Tudan Davken |
Tudan winces at the stubborn little water elemental's struggle. "Well done, Pluck! You found what we needed to know; now go home and rest." The empathetic oracle dismisses the summoning spell's bindings with a few seconds of arcane speech. "So, yeah. A trick to lure us to our doom. Let's move on -- we have someplace to be!"
GM Will Cooper |
Spark senses magic from the direction of the light, and something alien and uncaring and self-willed enough to be called evil. The tiny woman shivers and turns away. Pluck splashes into his own frosted puddle and is gone. It seems that within only a few steps down the path, the light is lost in the distance behind you, and the voice also.
The landscape continues to change around you as you walk. Mansions and ruins and forests and shadowed mountains flicker, change, and pass. Eventually after long timeless moments there is an obstruction in front of you.
A portal, a doorway, a gateway. It lies square across the path in front of you, filled with swirling shadow-stuff. It is probably the end of your road.
Tudan Davken |
"Of course, now that you have your swords drawn, we'll probably land in the middle of a children's game. Or young couples dancing. Or a council session." Tudan teases the two swordsmen, leaving his shield strapped to one arm and the other hand free as they go through.
Surveen Walsh |
"Ha ha Tudan, that would be preferable to opening straight into trouble. It's easier to put our weapons down, than to use their blade. Let's hope you're right." laughs the muscular blue humanoid. He puts his arm around Tudan's shoulders and pulls him towards him, shoulder to shoulder, before releasing. He continues to laugh at Tudan's words, enjoying the idea of starting a skipping game, or surprising the elder bureaucrats of a village.
GM Will Cooper |
Weapons drawn and ready, you step through the portal, from shadow into shadow. The cold tenebrious darkness of the arcane path fades behind you, and you emerge into the shade of several massive oak trees on a bright summer day. Above you paper lanterns and colored streamers hang festively, while several people dance a brisk foxtrot in their best part clothes.
At least, they were dancing until the musicians falter and stop as several heavily armed strangers appear from the shadows. A dozen pairs of eyes look at you in consternation.
Tudan Davken |
When he sees the party that they interrupted, Tudan returns the blue monk's sideways embrace. "Sometimes I hate being right, and sometimes I love it." Squeezing Surveen's shoulder and dropping his shield, the halfling-raised oracle steps forward, giving an easy smile with hands raised placatingly. "Hi everybody! Sorry for interrupting, but we're old friends of Elyin!"
Tudan then turns to his comrades with exaggerated umbrage. "You'd think that the wizard could've told us where we'd end up, but no, he just had to be all 'wizardly' and 'mysterious'." Tudan gives Sharadon a discreet wink to show that he's joking, then turns back to the musicians and dancers, smiling brightly. "Obviously we're not dressed for a party yet, having just arrived; so where can we get rooms?" Take 10 + 13 for 23 Diplomacy.

The EPA claims airborne fine particulate matter kills tens of thousands annually and that the prevention of those deaths will provide society $2 trillion annually in monetized health benefits by 2020.
(That's the EPA version of "Starve Granny and Kill the Ill" not to mention NASA's "Alien Invasion!!!" )
But we can debunk those claims with more than mere criticisms of EPA's statistical malpractice and secret data. We have actual data that simply discredit the EPA's claims.
...The [US Public Health Service] report indicates that the death rates for the period 1945-48 for Donora and nearby Pittsburgh were 826 and 1,086 per 100,000 people, respectively.
(Next EPA suggestion: vaporize Donora and Pittsburgh. Save $30Trillion, not just $2Tn.!!!)
The Weather Bureau's [1949] measurements of airborne particulate matter are astonishing and compelling. Of the 205 air samples taken at 12 stations during those 10 weeks in Donora, 54 percent exceeded 500 micrograms per cubic meter. [This was 90 days after the inversion-event.]
While the other 46 percent of the readings were less than 500 micrograms per cubic meter, it's likely that all of those were likely far greater than today's EPA's standard for maximum allowable fine particulate matter, which is 35 micrograms per cubic meter during a 24-hour period.
...So, although the air in Allegheny County is much cleaner than it was in the years following World War II, the mortality rate is about the same...
When we retire EPA, we can also give them kudos: they have highlighted, addressed, and fixed some serious problems. That's good!
But their time is over.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Eight students in Slippery Rock University's Adapted Physical Activity Program travel to Harrisburg Nov. 14-15 to attend an advocacy conference that includes a meeting with state lawmakers to discuss the importance of providing physical activity opportunities for those with disabilities.
SRU's Adapted Physical Activity Program specializes in preparing graduates for work with special populations, and the Butler County university offers a number of adapted fitness programs open to community residents, including swimming and horseback riding.
SRU's Dr. Robert Arnhold, professor of exercise and rehabilitative sciences, obtained an $8,337 grant from the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council to pay the students' expenses. They will participate in the Pennsylvania Student Leadership Conference on Advocacy on Nov. 14. The conference focuses on student training and will include an examination of how laws get made and how laws affect the lives of people with disabilities.
The next day, students will meet with state representatives from their home districts, including Pittsburgh, Erie and Grove City, to discuss the value of physical activity participation for those with disabilities.
"Physical fitness is an important component of total wellness and a form of preventative medicine," Arnhold said. "Students are going to Harrisburg to urge lawmakers to support university and community programs that include those with special needs. They are passionate about helping people to reach their full potential."
Adapted physical activity is a 27-credit minor with 120 students enrolled at SRU. Courses include "Equine Facilited Riding," "Therapeutic Exercise," "Sport and Disability" and the capstone course "Professional Affiliation in Adapted Physical Activity." It is the one of the largest programs of its kind in the nation.
Among the students going to Harrisburg are:
Diana Helt of Ross
Alicia Dixon of Cresson
Rose Schiavone of Mount Pleasant, Ill.
Ashley Goodwill of Corry
Steven Midlik of Lemont Furnace
Aaron Smith of Grove City

Dave Edmunds
Edmunds was born in Cardiff. As a teenager, he first played in 1954 with a band called the Edmunds Bros Duo with his older brother Geoff (born in 1940, Cardiff); this was a piano duo. Then the brothers were in the Stompers later called the Heartbeats formed around 1957 with Geoff on rhythm guitar, Dave on lead guitar, Denny Driscoll on lead vocals, Johnny Stark on drums and Ton Edwards on bass. Then Dave and Geoff were in The 99ers along with scientist and writer Brian J. Ford. After that Dave Edmunds was in Crick Feather's Hill-Bill's formed in c 1960, with Feathers (Edmunds) on lead guitar; Zee Dolan on bass; Tennessee Tony on lead vocals; Tony Kees on piano and Hank Two Sticks on drums. The first group that Edmunds fronted was the Cardiff-based 1950s style rockabilly trio The Raiders formed in 1961, along with Brian 'Rockhouse' Davies on bass and Ken Collier on drums. Edmunds was the only constant member of the group, which later included bassist Mick Still, Bob 'Congo' Jones on drums and John Williams (stage name John David) on bass. The Raiders worked almost exclusively in the South Wales area.
In 1966, after a short spell in a Parlophone recording band, the Image (1965–1966), with local drummer Tommy Riley, Edmunds shifted to a more blues-rock sound, reuniting with Congo Jones and bassist John Williams and adding second guitarist Mickey Gee to form the short lived Human Beans, a band that played mostly in London and on the UK university circuit. In 1967, the band recorded a cover of "Morning Dew" on the Columbia label, that failed to have any chart impact. After just eighteen months, the core of 'Human Beans' formed a new band called Love Sculpture that again reinstated Edmunds, Jones and Williams as a trio. Love Sculpture scored a quasi-novelty Top 5 hit by reworking Khachaturian's classical piece "Sabre Dance" as a speed-crazed rock number, inspired by Keith Emerson's classical rearrangements. "Sabre Dance" became a hit after garnering the enthusiastic attention of British DJ John Peel, who was so impressed he played it twice in one programme on "Top Gear". The band issued two albums.
Dave Edmunds (born 15 April 1944 in Cardiff, Glamorgan, South Wales) is a Welsh singer, guitarist and record producer.
The first group that he fronted was the Cardiff based 1950s style rockabilly trio 'The Raiders'.
Edmunds had a UK #1 single in 1970 with "I Hear You Knocking".
2007 marked a return to touring for Edmunds, alongside fellow rock protagonist Joe Brown on a lengthy jaunt around the UK.

delicious bars, that don't need to be put in the dehydrater (because i dont have one hahaa)
easy to change up. like rolling them into balls and making them cookies.
sorry, i would have a photo, but my brother ate the one that i was going to take a picture of…
½ cup Oat flakes (raw)
¼ cup cashew butter
.125 bannana, mashed
1 teaspoon blueberry purey (sorry spelling)
½ teaspoon raw/original honey
.125 cup dried cranberries (crasins), chopped smaller
mash cashew butter and bannana together,
then add the oats, blueberry purey, honey, and dried cranberries, and mix with hands (much easier than using a spoon or fork.)
you may need to make more, this only makes on serving. and trust me these go fast, because I just made some and now there gone :]

Blu-ray Compliance Comes to x264
The x264 main developer from the VideoLAN open source project has announced that the x264 free H.264 encoder can now also create Blu-ray-quality video.
Jason Garrett-Glaser (a.k.a. Dark Shikari) is particularly proud of the new x264 Blu-ray compliance.
From his blog: "Today we take the first step towards a free software Blu-ray creation toolkit. Thanks to tireless work by Kieran Kunyha, Alex Giladi, Lamont Alston, and the Doom9 crowd, x264 can now produce Blu-ray-compliant video. Extra special thanks to The Criterion Collection for sponsoring the final compliance test to confirm x264's Blu-ray compliance."
The commit in the respective x264 repository includes a sample command for the Blu-ray compliance. The command is "more complicated than usual" because of the restrictions of the Blu-ray specification. Garrett-Glaser adds that Blu-ray disk creation is still missing the new free HD video decoder, the currently available AC3 decoder for audio, and the corresponding graphical software. "The primary missing application," he says, "is a free software Blu-ray authoring tool, to combine the video and audio streams to create a Blu-ray file structure with the menus, chapters, and so forth that we have all come to expect."
Further advice for burning and playing Blu-ray videos are in the California student's blog. To celebrate the day, the x264 project is featuring the two Open Movie Project films "Big Buck Bunny" and "Elephant's Dream" under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported licensing (see the available torrent file).

For this, I am looking for K-12 educators who are involved in the use, development of and/or advocacy of free and open-source software. If you fit this description, and would be interested in sharing your experiences, please contact me. If you don't seem to fit this description, do you know anyone who does? Please let me know, or feel free to pass on this message to others. I could really use everyone's help on this. Please please. :-) Participation will be done electronically, via email and online discussion boards. Possibly other methods depending on the group that is interested. There is not a lot of commitment (a few hours I am thinking), but I would certainly love to hear of your experiences. I am also particularly interested in activities that follow closely to the open source movement such as open-publishing (e.g., blogging) and open-content (e.g., learning object repositories). Collectively, I am just referring to this as the open movement, and hoping to find participants who are involved in these areas in the K-12 system. *Purpose:* The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the adoption practices of technological innovation by teachers, and in doing so, develop theory which relates to the activities and beliefs of participants in relation to adoption activities. Emphasis will be placed on 'open' forms of collaborative practice. *Some of my guiding questions include:* 1) What are the characteristics of the open (source) movement that encourage and motivate members to participate in open (source) communities? 2) Does participation in open (source) communities encourage and/or support the development and adoption of (technological) innovation by teachers? If so, in what ways? 3) What perceived value is gained through the membership and participation in open (source) communities? 4) What educational activities and experiences result from a participant�s membership in an open (source) community? 5) Are there common values and beliefs held by members of open source communities, and if so, what are they? Please feel free to circulate, trackback, comment, pass on, etc. Would love to hear from you!

Title: | Neurotransmitter Functional Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases: human Health |
Author: | Paulose,C S; Amee,Krishnakumar; Anu, Joseph |
Abstract: | Neuroscience is the study of'tbe ne rvous system , including the i - ; . in, spinal cord and peripheral nerves . Neurons are the basic cells of the brain and nervous system which exerts its functional role through various neurotransmitters and receptor systems . The activity of a nen ren depends on the balance between the number of excitatory and inhibito r y processes affecting it, both processes occurring individually and sin ,tlte-' ,ieously. The functional bal,ince of different neurotransmitters such as Acct >>lcholine (Ach), Dopamine (DA), Serotonin (5-1-17), Nor epinepbri,te (N.1 j, Epinephrine (LPI), Glutamate and Gamma amino butyric acid (GA BA) regulates the growth , division and other vital functions ofa normal cell / organisin (Sudha, 1 998). The micro-environ ; nertt of the cell is controlled / the macro-environment that surrounds the individual. Any change in the cell environment causes imbalance in cell homeostasis and f,ntction. Pollution is a significant cause of imbalance caused iii the inacYcenvironment. Interaction with polluted environments can have an adverse impact on the health of humans. The alarming rise in enviromilmieil cont.iniin :rtion has been linked to rises in levels of pesticides, ndltstr al effluents, domestic Waste, car exhausts and other anthropogenic activities. Persistent exposures to contaminant cause a negative imp,-, on brain health and development . Pollution also causes a change in the neurotransmitters and their receptor function leading to earl.;' recurrence of neurodcge,terative disorders such as flypoxia , Alzbeimers's and Huntington 's disease early in life. |

Joint Fundraiser to Benefit F.D.N.Y. Injured Firefighters
Cincinnati, OH, January 23, 2012— MN8-Foxfire, the developer of breakthrough
illuminating products for firefighters, Lt. Rhett Fleitz of the Fire Critic blog
(FireCritic.com) and Captain Willie Wines Jr. of the Wooden Ladders and Iron Firemen
blog (IronFiremen.com) have teamed up to establish a joint fundraiser to support two
injured firefighters with the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) Rescue 2. The
fundraiser begins on Monday, January 23 and ends at midnight on Monday, January 30.
During this time, MN8-Foxfire will donate 50 percent of all product sales through the
company website to the FDNY Rescue 2 Mayday Fund. Opportunities for individuals to
make donations without a product purchase will also be available through the MN8-
Foxfire website at www.mn8products.com.
On Monday, December 19, 2011, two firefighters from Rescue 2 suffered severe
burns during a brownstone structure fire and were in critical condition upon hospital
admittance. Both men face long recoveries. One is still hospitalized in critical condition
and the other is now recovering at home under the care of a burn center outpatient
"We were devastated to hear about the fire involving the Brooklyn firefighters as
we have a special connection with Rescue 2," said Zachary Green, president of MN8-
Foxfire. "I'd met and spent some time Captain Liam Flaherty (from Rescue 2) in San
Diego last year. Then last fall, Willie, Rhett and I visited Rescue 2 and they welcomed us
like we were part of their team."
- more -
"We had great discussions over coffee with Captain Flaherty and his men at their
kitchen table and even watched a hockey game with them while we were there," said
Fleitz, Wines and Green will travel to New York to personally present a check
towards the FDNY Rescue 2 Mayday Fund during the first week of February. "There is
such a sense of brotherhood among firefighters," said Fleitz. "And when one of our
brothers is in need, the firefighting community pulls together. We want to do all we can
to help these men and their families."
All Foxfire illuminating products are eligible for the 50 percent Rescue 2 Mayday
fundraiser, including illuminating helmet bands, coating kits, grip wrap, tetrahedrons,
equipment bands and t-shirts.

This place is nothing short of shady and criminals. Would not recommend this place to anyone. The staff is extremely rude, the doctor does not spend time explaining whats going on after the exam and procedure. He just disappears. Worst of all when you try to switch doctors, they hold your files hostage. They are nothing short of criminals.

I had pain for years...no one could find the reason. Dr Jogani found the ulcers and treated them, he gave me a new lease on life. I saw him for over a decade off and on for other aliments and only wish I could bring him across state lines. He is the absolute kindess dr. I have ever seen. The most caring. Even coming to the hospital on a sunday just to check on me.I cannot sing his praises enough.

It took me about two weeks to get an appointment but Jogani spoke to me for 8 minutes and told me to come bank in 2 months but charged me 200.00 dollars. when I tried speaking to him about the bill he told the receptionist he didnt want toe speak to me.. He should not be called a doctors! He is a crook! This was the worst experience ever!!!!

0Z4 as a rectifier?
I figured I would try something different so I pulled out a 0Z4 from the tube box with the idea of replacing my 5Y3 I am using in my 12B4 line stage. Well, after swinging the plate feed wires over I fired her up and found it gave slightly more voltage than the 5Y3 did. From what I have found out about the 0Z4 it will also replace a #83 gas rectifier.
Problem... I have a low frequency osscilation from watching the woofer move in and out when I use the 0Z4. When I replace it with the 5Y3 there is no movement. Any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance, Joe |

The 0Z4 is a gas discharge rectifier used in auto radios of the 50's tube vintage. I guess its ok for cars, but I would not use the tube for home audio. I would use a solid state rectifier if I could, if you want more voltage. A 5V4 also will give higher B+ if needed. Hope this helps Ed |

Thanks for the reply Ed,
You are correct, however the gas discharge tube has been around since the 40's I believe. I had found some information saying it could be used for a substitute for the number 83 tube. It does work and provides an extra 6volts above and beyond what the 5Y3 did. It or my line stage seems to have a problem. Its as if I had a signal generator hooked up to it as I am seeing around 2 cycles per second movement of the woofer. I cannot comment on the plate voltage of the early car radios but I believe this thing needs about 200V per plate to turn on. I guess I will have to check it now to see. |

Worked great on Frank's 5692 line stage
I tried the 0Z4 in place of the 5Y3 in my "Franks 5692 line stage" and it is dead quiet now. Before it had a slight hum as you put your ear next to the speaker. This rectifier works great because you do not have to supply a 5volt to power a heater. Too bad its in a metal shell. I'll bet it would put out some nice color.

The 0Z4 is from the thirties. This article explains them (better than I ever could). Look under Phanotron. There is a glass version (0Z4G). Beware there are minimum current outputs and breakdown voltages.
